“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

As a Christian woman I love this it is so hard to love but it is the most important thing we can do in This world without god will never fully understand this or be able to do it sadly! But love comes from God and we are aloud to put some boundaries up against toxic people the Bible says to stay away from fools she’s expressing a way to take that responsibility off us we are not responsible for others or stopping them from hurting us we are responsible for our own happiness and are called to love everyone no matter what and think about them not just us

I Guess she means: as long as you keep the thought you will suffer. So leave It. You are not the thought.

True, but there are others who have said it better. Louise Hay, Esther Hicks, Ekart Tolle.

This is great and essential but we must also account for the power of the nervous system and physiology?

When you do it, do it in a place you can allow your body and emotions to feel. Allow the work tp work you. Your mind and body have a mutual relationship and change each other so your body will be free as well. The deeper the answer you feel inside from the turnaround, that deeper your physiology updates. Even more with repitition. Remember also, it's not a reflection of who you are-mind images old beliefs and past. It's a reflection of what you knew at the time. Also watch her videos and write what she says that meets your own inside criteria in that vein.

I pride myself on seeing all sides of a story including my own thoughts. Our thoughts and perceptions are REAL to us. We all own our perception. I sat in a courtroom at the age of six while my biological father terminated his parental rights. I heard the words. I remember the smell of the courtroom. I know exactly what my shoes looked like and how many dots were in the tiles on the floor. I was never the same after that moment. That was real/fact/truth, not some feeling I made up. It defined me. From that moment, when my little heart was shattered, I became an adult in a little body and promised myself nobody would hurt me like that again. Of course I have struggled since with abandonment issues, being guarded, spinning my wheels in life. I have done therapy. I have done all the work for a happy and healthy life. I put in the time and effort. Her words feel harsh and like she is putting the blame back on the person hurting. This concept sucks. The rape example is total bullshit! Feels icky.

I just read this. My heart goes out to you. I know the feeling of alone and believing that you are the only one to help you in this world.

@@PeopleRNuts So glad, cause I have met enough hurt people. I opened up about my life and then realized how many of us have lived what we have lived. Any time I hear of someone overcoming, finding joy in a life founded on hurt...Thank you.

I see the truth in her approach, not sure if I like her full intent for doing it and rigidity of it.

@ellenrof4362 Жыл бұрын

It's too simplistic. I was sexually abused for three years and her answer to that was offensive. Read on PTSD and the healing of that trauma before you make it sound so damned easy..............

@joannewebb9278 Жыл бұрын

I know what you mean, I think on some topics the work is great but we must remember she overcame traumatic thoughts but never personally experienced sexual abuse or violence. Adyashanti is a spiritual teacher but has admitted that he wouldn't be the person to help with deep trauma. I do like her but we can't undermine professionals trained to deal with this, so sorry for what you went through.

@@ellenrof4362 Sorry to hear that sweetie. I've always put a lot of store by the work, but, because BK isn't a trauma specialist or even trained counselor, I have come to see that the work doesn't accommodate the reality of the physiology of trauma (as you pointed out) - reducing it to set of beliefs and mental complexes, which must simply be written down and worked through in order to be overcome. I myself have had untreated, undiagnosed CPTSD for 30 years, and while the work has created a few major shifts, I know the trauma is still stuck in my limbic system. I think BK is often disregarding of that. The work doesn't seem to allow room for grief either, I've noticed.

@PeopleRNuts Жыл бұрын

Feels icky to me. We have the right to have a voice. And grieve. And put the blame where it belongs.

@jennytaylor3324 Жыл бұрын

@@PeopleRNuts I agree. I love BK' Work, but think, not being formally trained, she may not understand the physiology of trauma, being that emotion gets trapped in the very systems of the body sometimes, and needs to be released; ergo some grieving in required. There's also a danger of exonerating criminals for sex crimes against children (and adults) and that's dangerous territory.
